It seems in Korea, when the player base asks for something they get it because they have tons of local games and Blizz knows they are willing to switch games over these things. In EU or US, we just whine so they don't have to care as much

Because the Asian Wow is owned by a different company. Basically an Asian gaming company leases the Wow rights off Blizzard. Obviously they are much more prepared to work with their players out there in Asia...

Maybe the fan base is a little more balanced and a little less - whatever you do it's wrong and we all hate you.

If they don't merge servers here, people will bitch

Actually that only applies to China. KR wow is run directly by blizzard(or Blizzard Korea to be precise).
Taiwanese realm is also run directly by blizzard too

I would quit if I lose the name I've used since Vanilla, don't know how they will manage it. Like Maelle said already "If they don't merge servers here, people will bitch
